Default Need help Smog California

Ok so here is my dilemma, I have a JDM H22 in my 94 prelude which I cannot smog. Is there anyway to get this car to pass legally? If I put in a usdm H22 will it be legal? if I cannot get the JDM to pass and the USDM is legal is anyone out there willing to trade straight across?

Thanks guys.

Did your prelude come with a H22 from the factory?
